INDIANA REPUBLICANS.

w. a. as. Rushvis Letter in Commercial. Gazette
They [Rushville Republicans are enthusiast
ticallyeof the opinion that General Harrison
ought to be the presidential nominee and that
with him the State can be triumphantly carried,
and the election made sure. One of the local
leaders said to me to-day: II, in unison with
thousands of other Republicans, admire Mr.
Blaine. but when it is claimed that he is the
strongest man who can be nominated will not
admit it. If the President was to be elected by
be founded in Justice. Butsthat is not the way
to estimate the availability of presid ential
candidate. Let it be granted that he could carry
Pennsylvania Iowa and the other strong Repub-
Hcan States by larger majority than any one
else. what good will that dos Any other Re-
publican candidate will just as surely carry
strong as any other would be in New York and
still that will not elect him. New York is
very doubtful state. and the strongest candidate
Is the one who will carry Indiana certainly
That man is General Harrison. He can carry
all the States that Mr. Blaine could be sure of,
and Indiana in the bargain, therefore he is the
strongest man. The strongest man is the one
who can get the most electoral votes, and not
he who get the greatest popular vote
There is not a Republican here who would
not like to Blaine President, but they do
not want to be called upon to fight doubtful
battle. In one of my recent letters l said that
there were but two avowed candidates for Gov
ernor the Republican ticket, and the prob
abilities were there would be but two. The
Republicans here are disposed to take except
ions to that remark ihey are enthusiastically
for the nomination of Senator Huston, chair
man of the State committee One of them thus
speaks of his nomination: he the heart
the soul, the motive power of the last campaign
which overcame the terrible odds the Democrats
had arrayed in their favor. His courage and
energy were sublime. From the very day the
campaign opened he would not hear of anything
else but victory. When others became dis
couraged his courage became the brighter and
more steadfast. He kept all the elements in
hand and developed the fact that Indiana could
be carried without the of Doodle, and that
thorough organization and the correct informa-
ton of the people the best elements of
success. He was closer to all the struggles of
last winter than any other man, and is, In fact,
the best embodiment of the issue there made by
the Democrats. He deserves all the party
do for him and is the man for a leader. As
gubernatorical candidate he will be stronger
than his party. and he will help to make the
election of a Republican President sure" I
talked with many others who held the
views and became satisfied that in this vicinity
at least Mr.. Huston would make the strongest
candidate.

Mr.. Blaine and the Presidency.

NJ H. New York Letter.
There have been in the club convention in this
city, and in the course of the proceedings Of the
Republican national committee at Washington
and the reception at the clubhouse in that city,
several demonstrative illustrations of the
combative and affectionate enthusiasm with
which Republicans regard James G. Blaine.
There is mistakipg the fact that he is ono OF
the great factors and vital forces OF thu
Repu bican party. and not at all invalid,
physically or politically. He is hated too,
fiercely he is loved It is clear also that there
is strenuous opposition to him in Repu blican
quarters that is not to be attributed to personal
prejudice or factional resentment. 81
He has some friends who claim everything for
him. and do 1t exultingly. but the more thought
full of them do not hesitate to say that it would
cost him more than it would anyone else TO run,
whether elected or defeated, and that he should
not be and must not be rushed. The party
must gravitate to him. if it goes at all, by the
weight OF influences that cannot be diverted or
lessened, demanding him to make the sacrifice.
Mr.. Blaine is perfectly sincere in saying that
the Office of the presidency has ceased to have.
any fascination for him. He would take his hat
and bow himself out to-day If he could ses
his way clear 90 do it without confession Of
weakness a disregard of friendly obligation.
Those who do not believe this of Mr.. Blaine do
not know the man as he is.

THE TWO POSITIONS.

The Republican party believes in tariff
for the protection of American industry.
Whether the tariff be laid to produce $780,
O0O,0 900, 5000, 900. 900 or $500, 600. 900 year,
the Republicans insist that concurrently
with the idea of producing revenue shall be
the protection of American industry. The
Democratic party is opposed to the idea of
protection in toto. It's President denounces
protection as organized robbery" The tariff
it proposes is to be laid solely with respect to
the revenue it will produce, or, in the Ian
guage of the platform of 1880, "a tariff for
revenue only" IF in the preparation of such
tariff there shall result any Incidental"
protection they are willing that American in
dustry shall profit by it, but to that extent
only. This is the fundamental difference be-
party has declared in favor of raising the
whole revenue for the government by tariff.
They have declared the internal tax 'an obi
Gus war measure" and pledged themselves to
repeal it. The expenses of the government
require $500, OO0, 900 year. and the Demo
cratic position has been that this amount
should be raised by a tariff, and American
industry profit by whatever 'eincidenta' pro-
lection there may be in such tariff. But
now they have changed. They now declare
that there shall only be raised by tariff $780,.
600, 900 year, and the ''odious' internal tax
shall remain. Thus even the ''incidentaP'
protection that would be afforded to American
industry is to be cut squarely in the middle
The present attitude of the parties is this:
The Republican party is in favor of square
out protection to industry in the tariff, be the
amount of the tariff what it may; the Demo
cratic party is in favor of only half the 'inci-
dental protection it favored two years ago,
when it made the platform upon which Mr.
Cleveland ran for President. What has caused
the change in the twoyears7 and is it a change
in the interest of American industry

OLEVELAND'S LOCUS.

A question has been raised as to Mr.. Cleve-
held that clerks and government employees in
Washington retained their legal residence in
the States they came from, and they have
been in the habit Of going home to vote. no
matter how long they remained in Washing
ton. But, of course, temporary resident of
Washington may forfeit or voluntarily relin-
quish his former residence, and in that case he
becomes a legal resident of the District of
Columbia. Touching the question of Mr..
Cleveland's residence the city assessor of Buff
falo says:
1--WE took Grover Clevelands name off the
list last April, after Wilson S. Bissel1 had
shown US letter from him. We had him
assessed for $1,000 worth of personal prop
erty and he paid his tax in 1885. Last year
Mr.. Bissell came before the board and told
that Mr.. Cleveland was no longer a resident
of Buffalo Then he produced this letter,
which was dated at the White House and
signed Grover Cleveland. In it Mr.. Cleveland
claimed that he was not at that time resi-
dent of this city, and furthermore, never in
tended to be again."
This is an official announcement that Mr.
Cleveland has quit Buffalo, where he first had
greatness thrust upon him and began to climb
the ladder of fame. 1t sheriff of Erie

of Dick Wilmington, has led him from

Dick Wilmington became Sir Richard Whit
tington, and great and famous, he did not
desert the city where he first made the
acquaintance of his cat. Why should Cleve-
thinks it good time to break off old associ-
atoms, perhaps because there too many
people there who know him, perhaps because
the Jail yard has unpleasant associations. We
know not; but he has deserted it. In the
expressive language of the day. he has given
Buffalo the shake. If not resident of Buff
falo he is not resident of New York, and as
he must have legal residence somewhere,
it can only be in Washington. He is no
longer Grover Cleveland, of New York, but
